A short, brutal drama series about how far would you go for revenge. Peter Ho as Le Jun Kai marries the daughter of his enemy - Janine Chang as Ye Zi - in order to get revenge. She falls in love with him. He seems undecided. Yes, that is basically all that happens.
Unless you are a Peter Ho completionist, I wouldn't recommend this drama. It is so short that the episodes seem completely plotless and all the actors' emotions just seem too over the top for the scant amount of storyline.
Filming-wise, it is nicely shot and the music is quite lovely as well. Unfortunately, both seemed designed for a much longer series. You only just settle into the episode and, suddenly, up swells the beautiful theme music. It only leaves you with more and more questions.
Peter Ho (and his magnificent nose) does a fine job expressing a tortured soul. What made him so tortured we may never quite know.
